YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: YOUTHFUL SOLOMON CHOSE WISDOM

TEXT: 1 King 3:3-15 

THURSDAY APRIL 6th 

Key verse: Matthew6: 33. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His Righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Many people do not know how and what to ask of the Lord any time they are before Him. Some ask the right things at the wrong time, while others ask the wrong things at the right time. Seek the Lord when He may be found. God gives speedy answers when the right procedure is followed and done with faith, belief, and righteousness. Some ask amiss or with wavering hearts that it is why they obtain nothing from the Lord. The Lord showed us what to do in Matthew 7:7. “Ask, and it shall be given to you: seek, and you find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. The procedure of prayer was given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ when the disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray in Matthew 6: 5-13
Solomon touched the heart of God by giving a thousand burnt offerings and in return, God gave him an open cheque to fill whatever his heart desired. Solomon had the opportunity to ask God to deal with his enemies and that of his father David, but chose wisdom to enable him to rule over Israel and Judah. His choice of wisdom pleased the Lord and the Lord added that which he did not ask; “both riches and honor; so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days” (verses 12-13). “And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand of the sea shore. And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and the wisdom of Egypt.” (1 King 4:29-30).
Herodias’s daughter asked for the head of John the Baptist; Gehazi asked for a gift that was already covered by leprosy; the children of Eli were busy making sinful demands from worshippers; the people asked for Barabbas the thief instead of Jesus Christ; these were not acts of wisdom.

Thought for the day: “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom

Song for the day: He’s everything; Jesus is everything to me (2x) …

Bible reading for the day: Judges 18-19; Luke 10:25-42

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
